Deal | WD Black SN850X SSD with 8TB now discounted by 34% on Amazon

Despite some steeper discounts that have arrived in the last quarter of 2024, high-capacity solid-state drives are still very expensive these days. This doesn't change the fact that many gamers and content creators need lots of storage space, in which case Amazon's latest offer for the popular WD Black SN850X can be worth a closer look.

To be more exact, Amazon is now selling the huge 8TB model variant of the WD Black SN850X for $579 including free shipping, which constitutes a price cut of 34% in comparison to the official MSRP of $879. Shoppers who would like to claim this SSD deal should manually activate the $69 coupon on Amazon's product page for the SN850X.

However, it should be noted that this isn't the best offer for Western Digital's spacious 8TB SSD, whose record-low price sits even lower at $549 according to Camelcamelcamel. Nonetheless, storage enthusiasts are getting a somewhat decent value at $72.50 per terabyte of capacity, although this ratio still noticeably higher than those of smaller 2TB SSDs.

In terms of performance, the WD Black SN850X is just a tiny bit slower than the smaller SKUs and reaches up to 7,200 MB/s sequential reading speeds, while sequential writing happens at up to 6,600 MB/s. The PCIe 4.0 SSD is further rated for an endurance of 4,800 TBW, and as usual, the drive is covered by a five-year manufacturer warranty. Last but not least, the SN850X 8TB is officially compatible with Sony's PS5 Pro. Avid gamers or video professionals who need 8TB of storage on a single M.2 SSD might want to take advantage of this mentionable Amazon deal.
